Nokia Lumia 1020 photos from a non-photographer

I take a lot of photos with my phone wherever I go, and I always have. But I am very far from being a photographer or even knowing anything about it (I don’t even know what the rule of thirds is). This means that I cannot justify buying an actual DSLR (nor would I carry it around with me), but like having something that can take good photos. And I think that is what makes me the perfect target-market for the Nokia Lumia 1020.

This phone is mindblowing. You point it in a general direction, tap the capture button, and magically a good image is produced more often than not. The Nokia ProCam app also has lots of settings that would be useful if I had any idea what they did .

Below are some photos I took on a recent trip to Cape Town, South Africa (one from Sweden too). These are scaled down versions of the 41MP originals, but are not edited in any way at all.

That’s insane. Does a much better job than my point and shoot camera. Those are amazing photos!

I love the Lund photo – I’ve lived in Lund for quite a few years and never seen a photo like that. My 1020 arrived last Monday but the back button’s backlight is damaged. I’ll definitely take a cathedral photo once I have mine, though.

I had a Surface RT, posted it online, and some guy traded me a brand new 1020 for it. Luckily he already had a phone (he won the 1020) so I got a 920 and 1020 now. The picture quality difference is outstanding. Especially when using flash. The Xenon flash is SUPERB.

Lucky bastard!!!!

It was by chance. Origionally, I had my 920 and Surface together for a trade, but since he already had a phone, he was only interested in the Surface. I wanted a yellow one, but the one he has was black :(. But, downfall was I now dont have a Surface anymore. :'( lol. Sell my 920 and get a Surface 2! Brilliant! Lightbulb moment haha.

Great shots! I really want the 1020 but alas I am on contract with my 920 (which I love – and takes good shots as well). Maybe the next gen 1020 for me. The only thing it appears to need is a bit more horsepower for image processing speed, which wp will get with gdr3.

Great shots. I love the bokeh effect that you can get with that phone. I need one for myself!
